——Thanks to Fan Xuanzi and the tip from a friend who named it. Also, this is the final chapter transition.
He Ji and Cao Yuanze entered Zhou Chen's cabin and saw him lying on the bed with a sallow face, dry lips and unconsciousness. They also felt a little sad. He Ji sighed to Shi Xuan: " Hey, we called people to the deck in the middle of the night, the weather was so cold, the wind was so strong, and Brother Zhou was not in good health, so it was inevitable that he would get sick."
Cao Yuanze said with a smile: "Thanks to Brother Shi's proficiency in medicine, he was able to use the medicinal materials on the ship to prepare effective prescriptions. Although Brother Zhou was ill, his life was not in danger." He was somewhat flattered by Shi Xuan, because He could not guarantee that he would not fall ill once during the two-and-a-half-year voyage, and the doctors of the Fan family were expensive and arrogant, and the island countries controlled by the Blood Demon Sect in the North Sea were far apart, within a month or two. Only then will you encounter one.
Shi Xuan didn't care about Cao Yuanze's flattery. He looked at the two brothers Zhou Yi and Zhou Ying who were helping to serve tea and water: "Fortunately, the two children are fine." In fact, if the disciple of the Blood Demon Sect wanted everyone to do it last night, Kneel down or something, and Shi Xuan will quietly take control of him. Considering Shi Xuan's current strength, it is a very simple matter. Shi Xuan's main worry was that when the passing disciples and elders of the Blood Demon Sect scanned them with their spiritual consciousness, he happened to be cultivating and running his Qi, so he deliberately stopped from the moment he got on the boat.
As for why you don’t just use the God-Gathering Soul-Refining Pill to advance, but look for this illusory opportunity, that’s because there are always unstable situations when using the pill to advance. If it involves the physical body and meridians , it can be made up for in the future, it just takes more time, but when it comes to the soul and spiritual thoughts, once something goes wrong, it is very difficult to make up for it.
Many people who dare not take the divine elixir to achieve the middle-grade golden elixir when they reach the divine soul stage are because they made some mistakes when using the divine soul refining elixir to advance. It is caused by the incomplete integration of the spirit and soul. Once a mistake is made in one step, it will be difficult to make up for it later. Of course, the Nine-turn Nine-Returning Jade Liquid Divine Pill, which can only increase the probability by 30%, will not give them the confidence to break through to the middle-grade golden elixir.
As for the possibility of something going wrong when the God-Gathering Soul-Refining Pill is advanced, there may be about ten out of a hundred people, which is not too high and has something to do with one's own cultivation and control ability. Those with strong soul control may only have five or six people out of a hundred. But for Shi Xuan, who wants to achieve immortality, he does not dare to take this risk. In comparison, Shi Xuan is more willing to accept some stressful experiences, at least whether it is life or death, he has a certain ability to control it. .
In general, it is better to hold on to yourself, reject the temptation of the seemingly easy path, stick to your heart, and stick to the path you choose.
"Hey, the two children really suffered last night. But it's okay. Those monks who should have escaped have all escaped. The immortals of the Blood Demon Sect will not come to search again." He Ji's face was completely blank. The embarrassment of having his big eyes and **** mouth revealed before.
Cao Yuanze also said easily: "That's right, the sight of that Immortal of the Blood Demon Sect makes my legs and feet weak. It would be better if I never see him again. Okay, Brother He, let's go to the canteen to eat. , By the way, bring a portion for Brother Shi and the two children. Well, Brother Zhou, can you just bring some gruel?"
As soon as he opened the door, he heard crying from the corridor on the other side. Cao Yuanze became curious and said: "Brothers, I'll go take a look first and be back soon." After saying that, he left immediately. Got out.
After a while, Cao Yuanze came back somewhat depressed. He Ji asked: "What happened over there? Why are people suffering?"
"Don't mention it, he is dead." Cao Yuanze waved his hand, "It was the white-haired old man named Zhang that I often met. He seemed to be in good health. Unexpectedly, he had some cold last night and passed away today. ”
He Ji didn't expect that the cold wind last night actually killed someone. He didn't know how to answer for a while. It took him a long time to ask: "Is that the old man Zhang from the North Wind Kingdom whose granddaughter married an Arctic monk?"
Shi Xuan was not too surprised. Before he boarded the ship in Beifeng Kingdom, he accidentally met the old man named Zhang. He could see that his body was strong on the outside but strong on the inside, so he looked at his energy and found that he was almost alive. , with a lifespan of one or two years at most, but what he didn't expect was that just after arriving in Beihai, he died of cold because of what happened last night, which made Shi Xuan feel a little unpredictable.
Cao Yuanze said: "It's that old man Zhang. Hey, the old man received a letter from his granddaughter this time, asking the old couple to go to the North Pole to enjoy themselves. Who knew that he passed away just after arriving in Beihai? How pitiful."
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go to the dining hall. Brother Shi is still waiting!" He Ji didn't want to talk about such a heavy topic, so he pushed Cao Yuanze's shoulder and went out with him.
Seeing the two people leaving, Shi Xuan took Zhou Yi and Zhou Ying to start literacy. In the hearts of the two children, Uncle Shi, who is literate, can tell stories, and can also treat their father's illness, is really awesome, much more powerful than those bad guys in red flying around! Therefore, under Shi Xuan's guidance, Zhou Yi and Zhou Ying showed no reluctance at all, but were full of enthusiasm for literacy.
"Arqiong...Arqiong..." Zhou Chen, who was sleeping on the bed, spoke with slurred speech and a painful expression, and then shouted: "Xiaoyi...Xiaoying..."
Zhou Yi and Zhou Ying looked at each other, pouted and said, "Dad often talks like this in his sleep."
…………
After Old Man Zhang passed away, people from the Fan family fleet came forward to build a small mourning hall on the deck so that the Zhang family could mourn.
When the first seven days of the new year were over, the Fan family sent someone to pile a wood pile there and put Old Man Zhang's body on it to prepare for cremation. Old Man Zhang's wife didn't have any objections. After all, there were still more than two years to go. , there are no monks on the ship, and the corpse is not as strong as a monster, so it will definitely not be preserved for that long. Compared with water burial, cremation can at least leave some ashes.
The deck of the Fan family fleet is fireproof, so they are not afraid of the spread of fire, so Shi Xuan, He Ji, Cao Yuanze, Zhou Yi and Zhou Ying stood in the distance and watched the cremation.
Zhou Chen recovered from his illness for a long time, but he was still very weak and could not get out of bed. Shi Xuan, He Ji, and Cao Yuanze took turns taking care of the two children every day.
Looking at the excitement here today, Zhou Yi and Zhou Ying clamored to come and have a look, so the three of them had to bring them over.
"Don't those fires hurt your body?" Zhou Ying asked curiously as she watched the fire gradually ignite.
Zhou Yi looked at his sister with contempt: "He is already asleep, how can he feel pain!"
"That's right, brother, when you are asleep, I can't wake you up no matter how hard I pinch you." Zhou Ying's words drew Zhou Yi's glare.
After a while, after the fire stopped, Zhou Ying hurriedly pulled Zhou Yi: "Brother, the man is gone! Is he doing some magic?"
"You are stupid, fire (burial) means hiding."
"Oh, will he show up yet?"
"How do I know, you should ask him!"
What the two children said was so good that He Ji and Cao Yuanze looked bad. The more childish and innocent they looked, the more cruel they felt about death.
…………
Half a year later, the Fan family fleet arrived at an island outside the Blood Demon Sect. All the medicinal materials, spiritual herbs, and monster corpses brought on board will be unloaded here, and the two Blood Demon Sect disciples will also leave here. , as for whether the Fan family's fleet capsizes or sinks in the future, it has nothing to do with them.
Fan Han respectfully accompanied two inner disciples of the Blood Demon Sect into the island. The stewards directed the boatmen to carry all the items to the island. After that, they would buy the unique spiritual herbs and spells of the Blood Demon Sect. Devices etc.
But this has nothing to do with Shi Xuan and the others. They leaned on the railing of the boat and looked at the ordinary people on the island who were in good spirits, and then casually instructed Zhou Yi and Zhou Ying on some basic exercises.
After Zhou Chen recovered from his illness, he felt the importance of physical health. In addition, he heard the well-informed He Ji bragging that most monks had been exercising since childhood, so he asked Zhou Yi and Zhou Ying to In addition to being literate, I spent an hour every day doing some boxing. There were many people with martial arts skills on the boat, and people would pass by and give some pointers at any time, so Zhou Yi and Zhou Ying were able to perform well. Of course, Shi Xuan also helped to remove some unreasonable movements, which made He Ji, Zhou Chen and others sigh for a while. Mr. Shi is really good at both civil and military skills. Well, he is also proficient in medicine.
"Uncle Shi, look, we have grown taller again!" Zhou Yi said excitedly, and the title of Shi Xuan has changed from unconscious uncle to Uncle Shi.
Zhou Ying also stood by the boat rail, comparing the line drawn last month, and found with satisfaction that she had exceeded it by a lot. For children of their age, they are growing taller every day, and when they start to exercise, the effect is even more obvious.
Zhou Chen looked at his two children growing taller and taller. He was pleased and sighed: "They are growing up slowly, and I am getting older. Hey, I am getting old." The illness half a year ago made Zhou Chen Chen has more gray hair and wrinkles, and looks four or five years older.
He Ji patted Zhou Chen on the shoulder and said with a smile: "This is a normal thing. When children grow up, parents will naturally grow old. But your Xiaoyi and Xiaoying will definitely be successful in the future. Brother Zhou, just wait. Let's live in peace and happiness." He paused and continued: "Tsk, tsk, I'm so jealous. I really want to go back to Crystal City right away, marry a wife, and have a fat boy." He is only one or two years younger than Zhou Chen. Years old, but after arriving in the North Pole, he was busy working hard, but he hadn't gotten married yet.
After he finished speaking, he saw Shi Xuan and Cao Yuanze smiling and saying nothing, so he joked: "What's the matter, two brothers, do you want me to be a matchmaker for you? There are many beauties in Crystal City. They are tall and tall. It’s a bit stronger, but it’s very even. It’s convex where it should be and concave where it should be.”
Neither Shi Xuan nor Cao Yuanze had ever seen a woman before, so they didn’t blush. They made a few casual remarks and changed the topic: "This fleet has only arrived at the Blood Demon Sect for half a year. How could it go on to do so later?" Nearly two years?"
"Don't you understand this? The Blood Demon Sect is located in the south, and further north is the ocean where icebergs often float across. Boats do not dare to travel too fast, and they have to slow down at night to avoid strong winds. Xue had to find an island to hide in. It was only a journey of less than a year, but it took two years." He Ji proudly showed off his knowledge.
